Alpha 6BRA brass

[savageshooter86]

So anyone that received these put them through the paces yet? Any range data yet from them

 

[BartsBullets]

I just got 200 cases. I haven’t done anything yet except weight a 100 of them. The lightest was 132.92 the heaviest 134.04.

What’s loaded round non turned measure?

My weights were the same over 500 cases with just 2 cases being 134 g or over.
So 498 cases within 1 grain

What’s loaded round non turned measure?

.269" Loaded Neck Diameter.

 

[22DASHER]

Someone needs to sacrifice one case. Load, shoot, reload, shoot and repeat. Report back with the results.

So can I run full loads on virgin brass?

 

[tom]

Numbnuts says about .7 less h2o vs lapua, and roughly .4 less on powder for the same velocities. He can correct me if I'm mixed up @Alex Wheeler .

I will be testing some "stuff" soon.

I use 31.1 of H4895 with a 103 VT with a Lapua case for 3020-3030 fps. In the Alpha case 30.7 gets me to the same speed. I did still fire them all one time with a mild load.

Hope this appropriate, but is the flash hole small? And does that matter?

They have tooling for 60 and 80, but testing to know whats best has just started.

 

[Thumper]

Was the brass designed to fit the Wheeler BRA 1 chamber dimensions?

 

[D.Stone]

I have 300 cases but I haven't loaded any yet.

Yes, I sent them the print. But you still need to turn the necks for the .268 neck and bump the shoulder to fit your chamber.

It’s going to have to be really really good to outshoot the blue box Lapua. I guess time will tell but I’ve never had a single issue with the Lapua case and have many on their 14th firing.

Maybe I just hope the Alpha doesn’t shoot better because I’m sitting on 1,000 Lapua 6BR’s still in sealed boxes!

Well, after ole tom gets done testing flash holes sizes I hope theres a little something to be found.

You need a better nickname for ol Tom.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

I'm open to suggestions

 

[shoot4fun]

You need a better nickname for ol Tom.

Well you can't call him @Tommie , @Tom E or quite a few other common Toms.
After all @tom is pretty unique (better than calling him weird)
Didn't he once have some association with a mouse?
Outgrow that one?
